Location: Morningside Nature Preserve in Atlanta

Morningside Nature Preserve is truly a gem of forest found in Atlanta’s east side neighborhoods. This large park is bordered by the North Fork of Peachtree Creek and hosts hill-top forest with hickory and Paw Paw to classic bottom land hardwoods, sycamore, elm and eastern cottonwoods. Our walking trail takes us through mature hardwoods and a wildflower meadow in the power easement then descends via a long stair and boardwalk to a wetland trail and new suspension bridge spanning the creek, which has really become a small river in this location, with characteristic sandbar and bluff banks.

We’ll walk slowly, approximately 1.5 – 2 miles on natural trails that includes some steep terrain, and boardwalk with stairs. This nature preserve is great for photographers.
